Executives of Marriott International and Masterise Homes at the ribbon-cutting ceremony
JW Marriott Residences Grand Marina Saigon, Sea, has officially opened its doors at No. 2 Ton Duc Thang Street, Ben Nghe Ward, District 1, Ho Chi Minh City, marking the debut of JW Marriott’s first urban branded residences in both Vietnam and the Asia-Pacific region.
This milestone signifies a new chapter of luxury living at Grand Marina, Saigon, following the successful opening of Marriott Residences Grand Marina Saigon, Lake, in November 2023. The grand opening ceremony welcomed key executives from Masterise Homes and Marriott International along with representatives from international partners.
Sea is the second residential tower within Grand Marina, Saigon - a 10-hectare development by Masterise Homes, slated to be the world’s largest Marriott branded residential project featuring both Marriott and JW Marriott Residences. Set in the historic Ba Son area, once home to the renowned Ba Son shipyard, this meticulously planned development enjoys a prime location in District 1, one of Ho Chi Minh City’s most sought-after neighborhoods, where new residential land is becoming increasingly scarce. Fully integrated into Ho Chi Minh City’s social and transport networks, Grand Marina, Saigon offers unmatched connectivity, with direct access to the newly operational Ba Son underground station on Metro Line 1, along with four dedicated entry points for seamless transit.
